Deeper Learning Framework
Here's how each competency aligns with the flexibility and personalized nature of asynchronous learning:
Academic Content
Collaboration
Critical Thinking
Asynchronous environments often require students to independently navigate challenges and foster critical thinking. The flexibility in timing allows for deeper exploration of problems and creative solutions, with students having the freedom to revisit concepts and research further when needed.
Self-Directed Learning
The anytime, anywhere nature of asynchronous learning is inherently self-directed. Students must manage their time, set goals, and take responsibility for their learning, which directly supports the development of self-directed learning skills.
Communication
While face-to-face communication might be limited, asynchronous learning encourages diverse forms of communication, such as discussion boards, video messages, and written reflections. These formats can promote thoughtful, well-crafted communication, and students can engage in dialogues that span time zones and schedules, enriching their perspectives.
Academic Mindset
When students are given the autonomy to control their learning process, they often develop a stronger academic mindset. The confidence gained from mastering content at their own pace, solving problems independently, and collaborating with peers can lead to a more resilient and growth-oriented mindset.
